The Samsung ATIV Tab launched as one of the first Windows RT-based tablets, but its sales have obviously not met expectations and Samsung has now confirmed that it will stop selling the device. At least in Germany, Europe’s largest market, all due to weak demand.

This is yet another blow for Windows RT, a version of Windows that does not allow native Windows apps and only supports apps optimized for the new Modern interface with Live Tiles.

Samsung was also yet to launch the ATIV Tab in the United States, waiting to see how well it does in other markets and obviously the data is in and the tablet won’t be coming to the US.

To freshen up your mind, the ATIV Tab features a 10.1-inch 1366x768-pixel display and runs on an ARM processor.

Wow...another manufacture to stop making a Windows mobile device. Its funny right after someone posted some false hoods in the comments section about Android manufactures jumping ship to WP....this make 2 - 3 in the last month in the opposite direction?

Anyway....I think the Surface Pro is the better choice anyway. It cost more...but its worth the extra cost IMO. And...I see its translated....means someone will come on and explain how it was a mis quote...lol.

Samsung should have known better. I mean, why force people to buy products with low application support and high price, considering the learning curve involved in using yet another OS, not to mention there are cheaper alternatives everywhere.

I'm not sure what Samsung expected to happen when they decided to produce a lower quality product than their competitors. While Windows RT overall hasn't achieved great success in terms of sales, the other OEMs on board have at least seemingly put more effort into their Windows RT products.

How is RT considered "super failure status?" Maybe this model of the RT is failing, but look at the development of the surface RT. Hackers already got some windows apps to work on it and it's getting closer to get more windows apps to work on the surface RT. Maybe games and such won't work on it due to heavy CPU use, but at least photoshop and other adobe products will work which is amazing.

I don't see how this is a blow to ms. why would I get a low quality Samsung when I can get the surface. Samsung is not important to ms htc and nokia are. I find this great news one less crappy Samsung product to destroy the experience. o an pa get of Samsung nuts they me a god to google but not to ms
